1 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻI he kuonga ko ia, te u hoko ko e ʻOtua ki he ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, pea ko hoku kakai ʻakinautolu.
“Saa bere no,” Awurade na ose, “Mɛyɛ Israel mmusuakuw no nyinaa Nyankopɔn, na wɔbɛyɛ me nkurɔfo.”
2 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, Ko e kakai naʻe hao ʻi he heletā naʻe ʻilo ʻae ʻofa ʻi he toafa; ʻio, ko ʻIsileli, naʻaku fai ke aʻutaki ia ki he mālōlō.
Nea Awurade se ni: “Nnipa a wotumi gyinaa wɔ afoa ano no benya adom wɔ nweatam so; mede ahomegye bɛbrɛ Israel.”
3 Talu mei muʻa kuo hā mai kiate au ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē, Ko e moʻoni, kuo u ʻofa ʻaki kiate koe ʻae ʻofa taʻengata: ko ia kuo u toho ʻaki koe ʻae ʻofa ongongofua.
Awurade daa ne ho adi kyerɛɛ yɛn kan no na ɔkae se, “Mede ɔdɔ a ɛnsa da adɔ mo mede adɔe atwe mo.
4 Pea te u toe langa koe, pea ʻe langa hake koe, ʻE taʻahine ʻo ʻIsileli: ʻe toe teuteu ʻaki koe ho ngaahi meʻa faiva, pea te ke ʻalu koe ke meʻe mo kinautolu ʻoku fiefia.
Mede mo besi hɔ bio na wɔbɛsan de wo, Ɔbabun Israel, asi hɔ. Wobɛfa wʼakasae bio na woafi adi ne anigyefo akɔsaw.
5 Te ke toe tō ʻae ngaahi vaine ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo Samēlia, ʻe tō ia ʻe he kau ngoue, pea ʻe kai ia ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi meʻa ngofua.
Bio, mobɛyɛ bobe nturo wɔ Samaria nkoko so; akuafo no bedua na wɔadi so aba.
6 Pea ʻe hokosia ʻae ʻaho, ʻe kalanga ai ʻae kau tangata leʻo ʻi he moʻunga ko ʻIfalemi, ‘Mou tuʻu hake, pea ke tau ʻalu hake ki Saione, kia Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua.’”
Da bi bɛba a, awɛmfo bɛteɛ mu wɔ Efraim nkoko so se, ‘Mommra, momma yɛnforo nkɔ Sion, nkɔ Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn nkyɛn.’”
7 He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Mou hiva ʻaki ʻae fiefia kia Sēkope, pea kalanga ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi kakai lahi: mou fakahā, mou fakafetaʻi, ʻo pehē, ʻE Sihova, fakamoʻui ʻa hoʻo kakai, ʻae toenga [kakai ]ʻo ʻIsileli.
Nea Awurade se ni: “Momfa ahosɛpɛw nto nnwom mma Yakob; Monteɛ mu mma amanaman mu kannifo. Momma wɔnte mo ayeyi na monka se, ‘Awurade, gye wo nkurɔfo, Israel nkae no.’
8 Vakai, te u ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei he fonua ʻi he tokelau, pea tānaki ʻakinautolu mei he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani, ko kinautolu mo e kui pea mo e pipiki, mo e fefine feitama, pea mo ia ʻoku langā: ʻe liliu mai ki heni ʻae fuʻu tokolahi.

9 Te nau haʻu mo e tangi, pea ʻi he lotu tāumaʻu te u tataki ʻakinautolu: te u fakaʻeveʻeva ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngaahi veʻe vaitafe ʻi he hala tokalelei, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai te nau tūkia ai: he ko e tamai au ki ʻIsileli, pea ko ʻeku ʻuluaki fānau ʻa ʻIfalemi.”
Wɔde osu na ɛbɛba; wɔbɛbɔ mpae bere a mede wɔn resan aba no. Mede wɔn bɛfa nsuwa ho; ɔkwan tamaa a wɔrenhintiw wɔ so, efisɛ mɛyɛ Israel agya, na Efraim yɛ me babarima piesie.
10 Fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, “ʻAkimoutolu ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga, pea fakahā ia ʻi he ngaahi motu mamaʻo, ʻo pehē, Ko ia naʻe fakamovetevete ʻa ʻIsileli te ne toe tānaki ia, pea leʻohi ia, ʻo hangē ko e tauhi ki heʻene fanga manu.
“Muntie Awurade asɛm, mo amanaman; mommɔ no dawuru wɔ mpoano nsase a ɛwɔ akyirikyiri so se, ‘Nea ɔbɔɔ Israel petee no bɛboaboa wɔn ano na wahwɛ ne nguankuw so sɛ oguanhwɛfo.’
11 He kuo huhuʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa Sēkope, pea huhuʻi ia mei he nima ʻo ia naʻe mālohi kiate ia.
Na Awurade begyina mu ama Yakob na wagye wɔn afi wɔn a wɔwɔ ahoɔden sen wɔn no nsam.
12 Ko ia te nau haʻu ʻo hiva ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻo Saione, pea te nau fakataha ki he angalelei ʻa Sihova, ki he uite, mo e uaine, mo e lolo, mo e ʻuhiki ʻoe fanga sipi, pea mo e manu: pea ʻe tatau honau laumālie mo e ngoue kuo fakaviviku; pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te nau toe mamahi.
Wɔbɛba na wɔde ahurusi ateɛ mu wɔ Sion sorɔnsorɔmmea; wɔbɛsɛpɛw wɔn ho wɔ akyɛde bebrebe a efi Awurade hɔ mu, atoko, nsa foforo ne ngo, nguantenmma ne anantwi. Wɔbɛyɛ sɛ turo a wɔagugu so nsu yiye, na wɔrenni awerɛhow bio.
13 Pea ʻe toki fiefia ʻae taʻahine ʻi he meʻe, ko e talavou mo e motuʻa fakataha: he te u liliu ʻenau mamahi ko e fiefia, pea te u fakafiemālieʻi ʻakinautolu pea fakafiefiaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he hili ʻenau mamahi.
Afei mmabaa bɛsaw na wɔn ani agye, mmerante ne nkwakoraa nso ka ho. Mɛma wɔn awerɛhow adan anigye; mɛma wɔn ahotɔ ne ahosɛpɛw de asi awerɛhow anan mu.
14 Pea te u fakamākona ʻaki ʻae ngako ʻae laumālie ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki, pea ʻe mākona ʻa hoku kakai ʻi heʻeku angalelei, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.”
Mɛma asɔfo no nea ehia wɔn ama abu so, na mama mʼakyɛde bebrebe amee me nkurɔfo,” Awurade, na ose.
15 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Naʻe ongoʻi ʻi Lama ʻae leʻo ko e tangi, mo e tangilāulau; ko e tangi ʻa Lesieli ʻi heʻene fānau pea ʻe ʻikai te ne tali ʻae fiemālie koeʻuhi ko ʻene fānau, he kuo ʻikai ʻakinautolu.
Sɛɛ na Awurade se: “Wɔte nne bi wɔ Rama, awerɛhow ne agyaadwotwa bebree, Rahel resu ne mma na ɔmpɛ sɛ wɔkyekye ne werɛ, efisɛ ne mma nni hɔ bio.”
16 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; taʻofi ho leʻo mei he tangi, pea mo ho mata mei he loʻimata: he ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻe totongi hoʻo ngāue; pea te nau toe haʻu mei he fonua ʻoe fili.
Sɛɛ na Awurade se: “Hyɛ wo ho so na woansu, mia wʼani na woante nusu, efisɛ wobetua wʼadwumayɛ so ka,” Awurade na ose. “Wɔbɛsan afi atamfo no asase so aba.
17 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻOku ai ʻae ʻamanaki ʻi ho ikuʻanga, koeʻuhi ʻe toe ʻomi ʻa hoʻo fānau ki honau fonua.
Enti anidaso wɔ hɔ ma wo daakye.” Awurade na ose. Wo mma bɛsan aba wɔn ankasa asase so.
18 “Ko e moʻoni kuo u fanongo kia ʻIfalemi ʻoku ne fakamamahi ʻe ia ia, ʻo pehē; ‘Kuo ke valoki mai pea kuo valokiʻi au ʻo hangē ko e pulu ʻoku taʻemaheni ai mo e haʻamonga: fakatafoki au pea te u tafoki; he ko koe ko Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua.
“Ampa ara mate sɛ Efraim resu se, ‘Woteɛteɛɛ me so sɛ nantwi ba a nʼani yɛ den, na manya ahohyɛso. Gye me bio, na mɛsan aba, efisɛ wo ne Awurade, me Nyankopɔn.
19 Pea hili ʻeku tafoki naʻaku fakatomala moʻoni; pea u taaʻi hoku tenga ʻi he hili hoku akonakiʻi: naʻaku mā, ʻio, mo puputuʻu, koeʻuhi kuo u fua ʻae ongoongo kovi ʻo ʻeku kei siʻi.’
Meman akyi no, minyaa adwensakra; na akyiri a minyaa ntease no, mebɔɔ me koko so. Mʼanim guu ase na mefɛree, efisɛ me mmabun mu animguase da so so me.’
20 ʻIkai ko hoku foha ʻofeina ʻa ʻIfalemi? ʻIkai ko e tamasiʻi fakaʻofoʻofa ia? He kuo talu ʻeku lea kiate ia, ʻoku ou kei manatu lahi kiate ia: ko ia ʻoku mamahi hoku fatu koeʻuhi ko ia; ko e moʻoni te u ʻofa kiate ia, ʻoku pehē mai ʻa Sihova.
Efraim nyɛ me babarima dɔfo, ɔba a ɔsɔ mʼani ana? Ɛwɔ mu, metaa kasa tia no de, nanso meda so kae no. Enti me koma pere hwehwɛ no; mewɔ ayamhyehye ma no,” sɛɛ na Awurade se.
21 Ke ke fokotuʻu ʻae ngaahi fakaʻilonga ʻoe hala, fokotuʻu ʻae ngaahi fakaʻilonga māʻolunga: fakahanga ho loto ki he hala lahi, ke ke liliu mai ʻi he hala naʻa ke ʻalu ai, ʻE taʻahine ʻo ʻIsileli, ke ke liliu mai ki hoʻo ngaahi kolo ni.”
“Momfa agyiraehyɛde nsisi akwan ho; munsisi akwankyerɛ afadum. Monhyɛ ɔtempɔn no nsow, ɔkwan a monam so ba. San wʼakyi, Ɔbabun Israel, san bra wo nkurow so.
22 ʻE ʻofefine fakaholomui, ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa ʻa hoʻo ʻalu fano? He kuo fakatupu ʻe Sihova ha meʻa foʻou ʻi he fonua, ʻe auna ʻe he fefine ʻae tangata mālohi.”
Wubekyinkyin akosi da bɛn, Ɔbabea Israel sesafo? Awurade bɛyɛ ade foforo wɔ asase so, ɔbea bɛbɔ ɔbarima ho ban.”
23 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; “Te nau lea ʻaki ʻae lea ni ʻi he fonua ʻo Siuta pea ʻi hono ngaahi kolo, ʻo kau ka fakatafoki ʻenau pōpula; ‘Ke tāpuakiʻi koe ʻe Sihova, ʻa koe ko e nofoʻanga ʻoe angatonu, pea ko e moʻunga ʻoe māʻoniʻoni.’
Sɛɛ na Asafo Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn no se: “Sɛ mesan de wɔn fi nnommum mu ba a, nnipa a wɔwɔ Yuda asase ne nkurow so bɛsan aka saa nsɛm yi se, ‘Awurade nhyira wo, wo yiyeyɛ kuropɔn ne bepɔw kronkron.’
24 Pea ʻe nofo ʻi Siuta mo hono ngaahi kolo kotoa pē, ʻae kau tangata tauhi, mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻalu atu mo ʻenau fanga manu.
Nnipa bɛbɔ mu atena ase wɔ Yuda ne ne nkurow nyinaa so, akuafo ne wɔn a wɔde wɔn nguankuw nenam.
25 He kuo u fakainu ʻae laumālie ʻoku vaivai, pea kuo u fakamākona ʻae laumālie kotoa pē ʻoku mamahi.
Mɛma nea wabrɛ no anya ahoɔden foforo, na nea watɔ piti no nso mɛma no amee.”
26 Pea naʻaku ʻā ʻi he meʻa ni, pea u vakai; pea naʻe lelei kiate au ʻeku mohe.
Minyanee, na mehwɛɛ me ho hyiae. Medaa hatee.
27 “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ʻaia te u tūtuuʻi ai ʻae hako ʻoe tangata mo e hako ʻoe manu ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli pea mo e fale ʻo Siuta.
“Nna bi reba,” Awurade na ose, “A mede nnipa mma ne mmoa mma bedua Israel ne Yuda fi.
28 Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻo hangē naʻaku leʻohi ʻakinautolu, ke taʻaki fuʻu hake, mo fesiʻi hifo, pea lī ki lalo, mo fakaʻauha, mo fakamamahi; ʻe pehē ʻeku leʻohi ʻakinautolu, ke langa, mo tō, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
Sɛnea mehwɛ ma wotutui, wodwiriwii, wobubui, wɔsɛee na wɔde amanehunu bae no, saa ara na mɛhwɛ ama wɔasi na wɔadua,” sɛnea Awurade se ni.
29 Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau toe lea pehē ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ‘Kuo kai ʻe he ngaahi tamai ʻae kālepi mahi, pea kuo maninia ʻae nifo ʻoe fānau.’
Saa nna no mu, nnipa renka bio se, “‘Agyanom adi bobe nwennaa, na mma se afem.’
30 Ka ʻe mate ʻae tangata taki taha ʻi heʻene hia ʻaʻana: ʻe maninia ʻae nifo ʻoe tangata taki taha ʻoku kai ki he kālepi mahi.”
Mmom, obiara bewu wɔ ɔno ara bɔne ho; nea obedi bobe nwennaa no ɔno na ne se bɛfem.
31 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, Vakai, ʻe hoko mai ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, te u fai ai ʻae fuakava foʻou mo e fale ʻo ʻIsileli, pea mo e fale ʻo Siuta:
“Bere no reba,” Awurade na ose, “a me ne Israelfi ne Yudafi bɛyɛ apam foforo.
32 ʻO ʻikai tatau mo e fuakava ʻaia ne u fai mo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia naʻaku puke ai honau nima ke tataki ʻakinautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite; ʻaia ko e fuakava ʻaʻaku naʻa nau maumauʻi; ka ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ne u hangē ko e husepāniti kiate kinautolu.
Ɛrenyɛ sɛ apam a me ne wɔn agyanom yɛe no bere a misoo wɔn nsa, dii wɔn anim fii Misraim, esiane sɛ wobuu mʼapam so, wɔ bere a na meyɛ okunu ma wɔn no,” Awurade na ose.
33 He ko eni ʻae fuakava ʻaia te u fai mo e fale ʻo ʻIsileli; ʻoka hili ange ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Te u ai ʻeku fono ki honau loto, pea te u tohi ia ʻi honau laumālie; pea te u hoko ko honau ʻOtua, pea ʻe hoko ʻakinautolu ko hoku kakai.
“Eyi ne apam a me ne Israelfi bɛyɛ saa bere no akyi,” Awurade na ose. “Mede me mmara bɛhyɛ wɔn adwene mu, na makyerɛw wɔ wɔn koma so. Mɛyɛ wɔn Nyankopɔn, na wɔbɛyɛ me nkurɔfo.
34 Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau taki taha ako ki hono kaungāʻapi, mo taki taha ki hono kāinga, ʻo pehē, Ke ʻilo ʻa Sihova: he te nau ʻilo kotoa pē au, mei he iiki ʻo aʻu ki he lalahi ʻiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova: he te u fakamolemole ʻenau hia, pea ʻe ʻikai te u toe manatu ki heʻenau angahala.
Na obiara renkyerɛkyerɛ ne yɔnko bio, anaa ne nua se, ‘Hu Awurade,’ Efisɛ, wɔn nyinaa behu me, efi wɔn mu akumaa so, kosi ɔkɛse so,” Sɛnea Awurade se ni. “Na mede wɔn amumɔyɛ bɛkyɛ wɔn, na merenkae wɔn bɔne bio.”
35 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻaia ʻoku ne foaki ʻae laʻā ko e maama ki he ʻaho, pea kuo tuʻutuʻuni ʻae māhina mo e ngaahi fetuʻu ko e maama ki he pō, ʻaia ʻoku ne vahevahe ʻae tahi ʻi he ʻuʻulu ʻa hono ngaahi peau; ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ko hono huafa.

“Saa ahyɛde yi twa mu mʼani so a,” Awurade na ose, “ɛno ansa na Israel begyae ɔmanyɛ wɔ mʼanim.”
37 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; Kapau ʻoku faʻa fuofua ʻae langi ʻi ʻolunga, pea faʻa hakule ʻae ngaahi tuʻunga ʻi lalo ʻo māmani, te u toki liʻaki foki ʻae hako kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻaia kuo nau fai, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.

38 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ʻaia ʻe langa ai ʻae kolo kia Sihova mei he potu fale leʻo ʻo Hananili ki he matapā ʻoe tuliki.
“Nna no reba,” Awurade na ose, “a wɔbɛkyekye kuropɔn yi bio ama me, fi Hananel abantenten kosi Twɔtwɔw so Pon.
39 Pea ʻe falō totonu ʻae meʻa fuofua ʻiate ia, ki he moʻunga ko Kalepi, pea ʻe tākai ʻaki ki Koate.
